From: May 13, 1910 The Comrade (and Ruston Leader)

Mrs. J. R. Heard Dead

At twelve fifteen o'clock this morning the Angel Death again visited our city
and this time knocked at the door of our fellowtownsman, Mr. John R. Heard,
and took from him his beloved wife Loraine Heard.  Funeral services were held
at the family residence this afternoon and interment took place immediately
after wards in the Ruston Cemetery.  Quite a large crowd of sorrowing
relatives and friends attended these services.

Mrs. Heard was born June 7, 1848, being nearly sixty-two years of age.  The
family has resided in Ruston for several years, moving here from their country
place near Dubach, and has many relatives and dear friends who join the Leader
in extending deepest sympathy to them.  Mrs. Heard was a beautiful character,
the motherly kind of lady and the kind that made everyone she came in contact
with love and revere her and she, therefore has hundreds of friends that will
mourn her death.-The Ruston Leader, 30th.

The profound sympathy of our whole people goes out to her two sons, W. E. and
J. R. Heard, who are among our most valued citizens, in this hour of
overwhelming bereavement.
